Multiple models of Google's Pixel smartphone are already sold out

With the holiday season quickly approaching, it will soon be time
to start making purchases for family, friends, and even possibly
yourself to celebrate the most expensive time of year. While
there are plenty of new gadgets that came out this year that will
more than likely be at the top of a lot of people's wish lists,
one of the most popular will probably end up being Google's new
Pixel phones.

Although the new handsets are a far cry from the old Nexus brand,
Google's vision for the future of smartphones does look like one
that a lot of people are already on board with.

Unfortunately, if you're looking to purchase one of Google's new
phones anytime soon, we've got some bad news for you. Google's
putting in a heap of money into their marketing campaign for the
Pixel phones, and the company's goal to get that marketing to
push phones out the door appears to be working quite well.

The 'Very Blue' version of both the Pixel and Pixel XL sold out
within minutes of Google making them available for purchase on
the Google Store, and now the 32GB variant for the
Pixel in Quite Black and Very Silver are showing estimated
delivery times between 4 to 5 weeks with standard shipping.
However, perhaps even more discouraging, the Pixel XL is
completely sold out of all available variants. This doesn't come
as too much of a surprise considering how popular larger handsets
have become, but it is still quite a bit of a bummer if you had
plans to purchase one this week.

However, if you happen to be a Verizon customer or will be making
the switch to Verizon in the near future, the wireless carrier
currently has all versions of both the Pixel and Pixel XL in
stock with an estimated delivery date of October 20. That's good
news if you're on Verizon's network, but if happen to be with a
carrier like AT&T or T-Mobile, you're going to be left
waiting for the Google Store to bring the handsets back in stock.
